Abstract

A lighting apparatus includes a light source module, a light source housing, a rotation ring and a surface rim. The light source module includes a LED module. The light source housing has a light opening for disposing the light source module within the light source housing for a light of the light source module to pass through the light opening. The rotation ring has a pair of rotation connectors on opposite sides of the rotation ring for fixing the light source housing and for allowing the light source housing to rotate along a first axis of the pair of rotation connectors. The surface rim has a circular inner wall. The rotation ring is manually rotatable along a second axis of the circular inner wall for a second rotation movement.

Claims (21)

1. A lighting apparatus, comprising:

a light source module comprising a LED module;

a light source housing with a light opening for disposing the light source module within the light source housing for a light of the light source module to pass through the light opening;

a rotation ring with a pair of rotation connectors on opposite sides of the rotation ring for fixing the light source housing and for allowing the light source housing to rotate along a first axis of the pair of rotation connectors; and

a surface rim with a circular inner wall, wherein the rotation ring is manually rotatable along a second axis of the circular inner wall for a second rotation movement, wherein the light source housing has a top housing for fixing a driver module and the LED module of the light source module, wherein the light source housing has a tubular body rotatably fixed to the pair of rotation connectors, the tubular body is fixed to the top housing, wherein the light source housing has a bottom housing mounted with a lens facing toward the LED module of the light source module.

2. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotation connector comprises a rotation shaft and an associated rotation hole.

3. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first rotation movement is less than 60 degrees.

4. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotation ring is rotated along an inner side of the circular inner wall.

5. The lighting apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the circular inner wall has a limiting structure to keep the rotation ring staying with the surface rim.

6. The lighting apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the limiting structure has a pin to be inserted to the limiting structure after the rotation ring is aligned with the circular inner wall to hold the rotation ring to the surface rim.

7. The lighting apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the pin limits a rotation angle of the second rotation movement.

8. The lighting apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a pair of protruding ear structures for installing the pin, the pair of protruding ear structures extend upwardly from the circular inner wall of the surface rim enclosing the rotation ring between the pair of protruding ear structures.

9. The lighting apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a pair of fixing units are fixed to the pair of protruding ear structures for fixing the surface rim to an installation platform.

10. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the top housing is made of metal material for dissipating heat generated by the driver module and the light source module.

11. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bottom housing is movable with respect to the tubular housing to adjust a distance between the LED module and the lens.

12. The lighting apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the tubular housing and the bottom housing have a screw thread structure for changing a relative position between the tubular housing and the bottom housing to adjust the distance between the LED module and the lens.

13. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a reflective cup is fixed to the bottom housing surrounding the lens.

14. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a camera module is attached to the bottom housing.

15. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bottom housing is detachable to be replaced with another function module.

16. The lighting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an antenna module is disposed on an exterior side of the surface rim, the antenna is detachably electrically connected to a driver module stored in the light source housing.

17. The lighting apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the antenna module further comprises a wireless circuit, the wireless circuit is detachably electrically connected to the driver module, a different wireless protocol is supported by replacing the surface rim with a different wireless circuit.
